Zayd Blackwell was
inducted into the National Honor Society and given the Presidential Volunteer
Gold Award for logging over 250 volunteer hours at Tyler Arboretum in
2011/2012.

Zayd is a junior at
Pa. Cyber Charter School and also attends Delaware County Community College as
part of Pa. Cyber's enrichment programs. High school juniors and seniors are
allowed to take credited courses at DCCC, and keep the credits, as long as they
have a GPA of 3.5.

He has volunteered at
Tyler Arboretum for fall festivals, its pancake breakfast, and as a junior camp
counselor for the last 3 years. He has also volunteered for other organizations
like Kaboom Playground, and Chester Tree Planting.

Zayd is a
participant of Villanova University's VESTED program which I learned
about from your blog. (holla!)

He would like to
become a software engineer and plans to achieve his masters degree in 5 years
after his 2014 graduation.

Zayd also shoots
archery at Middletown Archery in Media, Pa.

He is the son of Kevin
